After a gorgeous scenic drive up the Columbia River Gorge and over to John Day via Biggs junction that takes you through Wasco via Hwy 206, and onto Hwy 19 through Condon, Mayville, Fossil, Service Creek (where you can have tasty hamburgers), Spray, Kimberly,past Sheep Rock and onto highway 26 past Dayville and Mt Vernon ...finally arriving 5 hours later in John Day. I love the drive. Hardly any traffic and far preferable to Hwy 26 over Mt Hood where one has to endure RV's slowly inching up the road!

We have been feeding our local squirrels for years now and have never seen a bald squirrel until this past month. "Harry" showed up about 2 weeks ago and the last time we went tothe Backyard Bird shop we asked what we could do for the hairless guy. So, they gave us this recipe:

For Squirrels with Mange

slice of whole wheat bread

butter with flax seed oil put on top

spread peanut butter over that

sprinkle with brewers yeast

roll up into a log and cut into 3-4 pieces

kind of squish each piece into a ball

serve to your mangy squirrel

"Harry" seems to like this treat and he already looks healthier as his tail no longer is droopy but is curled high ! Thanks Backyard Bird shop!

PS it's been a few days now and he looks muchbetter...maybe we see hair growing? YAY!
